Petroleum Reservoir  that reside in reservoirs with the original temperatures lying between the pseudo-critical temperature  $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}T_{pc}\end{array} //]]>$ and the Cricondentherm  $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}T_{\rm max}\end{array} //]]>$.

Natural Gas Reservoir with initial formation temperature  $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}T_i\end{array} //]]>$ lying between the pseudo-critical temperature  $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}T_{pc}\end{array} //]]>$ and the Cricondentherm  $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}T_{c, \rm max}\end{array} //]]>$, which initially stays gaseuous (outside Vapour Liquid Envelope) and builds condensate at separator (inside Vapour Liquid Envelope, see Fig. 1).
